Eric Shawn Reports: How Frank Sheeran killed Jimmy Hoffa
Fox News.com ^ | July 30, 2016 | Eric Shawn

Posted on 07/30/2016 2:28:35 PM PDT by Kaslin

It all started, and ended, on this day 41 years ago.

It was a hot July afternoon, nearly 92 degrees, when Teamsters president and labor icon Jimmy Hoffa is said to have opened the rear door of a maroon 1975 Mercury in the parking lot of the Machus Red Fox restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. and climbed in.

He was never seen again.

The FBI has expended countless resources in the ensuing decades in the hopes of finally solving this enduring American mystery with no success.

But I believe, based on my 2004 investigation, that Frank Sheeran did it.

"Suspects Outside of Michigan: Francis Joseph "Frank" Sheeran, age 43, president local 326, Wilmington, Delaware. Resides in Philadelphia and is known associate of Russel Bufalino, La Cosa Nostra Chief, Eastern Pennsylvania," reads the 1976 HOFFEX memo, the compilation of everything investigators knew about Hoffa's disappearance that was prepared for a high level, secret conference at FBI headquarters six months after he vanished.

Sheeran, known as "The Irishman," told me that he drove with Hoffa to a nearby house where he shot him twice in the back of the head. Our investigation subsequently yielded the corroboration, the suspected blood evidence on the hardwood floor and down the hallway of that house, that supports Frank's story.

No one who has ever boasted about knowing what really happened to Jimmy Hoffa has had their claims tested, scrutinized, and then corroborated by independently discovered evidence ... except Frank.

What horrible prose. Why wouldn't you just say "91 degrees"? Or "over 90 degrees"?

Because it's code. 92 stands for something. Numerologically, it could also mean 29.

Someone wanted that particular code number in there.

And no, I don't know what they meant by it.

Who knows what to believe at this point? Maybe they did the world a favor.

Another reason never to take “back seat middle.”

I’m amazed that no one has mentioned that Frank Sheeran was Joe Biden’s patron.

Okay, somebody here has to say it: Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

“Gee, FBI doesn’t have a clue.”

Sure they do. But, there’s no way a prosecutor would take the case...

Sheeran is credited with Biden’s first US Senate election victory.

Now that inscription is thoughtful and cool....good job.

Now, if only the Library of Congress and other document holders would publish / release the documents gathered for the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

My goodness.... it has been over fifty years.

“I Heard You Paint Houses” is a great read. It includes what are reportedly Hoffa’s recollections of the JFK assassination. Hoffa’s contention was that Jack Ruby had been responsible for planting fake cops to kill Oswald, and when they failed to do this Ruby had to take Oswald out himself. It’s the best explanation I’ve ever read of what Ruby did.

Even though he was found holding the gun that matched the ballistics of the bullets dug out of Hoffa’s brain, the head of the FBI didn’t think Sheeran did anything wrong because no sensible prosecutor would indict him.....

It’s not hard to figure out why the mob wanted Hoffa dead: he knew too much about their operations and Hoffa cold have “ratted out” way too many people to law enforcement authorities on the Mob much earlier than in reality. It could have dramatically changed the history of Las Vegas, for starters.

Read the book also. Made a connection between the young Joe Biden and Sheeran. He delivered the union votes for Joe’s win as Senator against an entrenched Republican.
